Landfill Levy Regulation Administration Policy - 2009
This policy document relates to the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2007 (WARR Act), Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Regulations 2008 (WARR Regulations) and Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Levy Regulations 2008 (WARR Levy Regulations).
It provides a summary of the procedures and requirements for the assessment and calculation of the landfill levy payable on all waste received at licensed landfills in the metropolitan region, and all waste collected in the metropolitan region which is received at licensed landfills outside the metropolitan area. This policy also provides a summary of the procedures relating to financial assurances and the application of exemptions.
Landfill Waste Classification and Waste Definitions 1996 (As Amended)
This document is intended to provide a quick reference for the criteria to be applied generally in determining the acceptance of wastes to various classes of landfill in Western Australia. More stringent waste acceptance criteria than those listed in this document may be imposed by landfill operators. Similarly, Department of Environment licence conditions may apply more stringent acceptance criteria as appropriate.
Acid sulfate soils information
Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are naturally occurring soils and sediments containing iron sulfides, most commonly pyrite. When ASS are exposed to air the iron sulfides in the soil react with oxygen and water to produce a variety of iron compounds and sulfuric acid. Initially a chemical reaction, the process is accelerated by soil bacteria. The resulting acid can release other substances, including heavy metals, from the soil and into the surrounding environment.
